This is a vent poem I finished and originally posted at the end of October after having been on a hiatus for some time last year. A vent poem about work stress and frustrations which have persisted to this year too. I’ve had a lot going but I’m also aware of how much is going on in the world so I can get if this feels a bit mundane.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Your Regularly Scheduled Dysfunction** &nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **By: A.X. Bueno&nbsp;**  
  
For all the money they have you’d imagine they could do more&nbsp;  
To fix it whenever there’s a broken door&nbsp;  
Which you feel happens much more frequently than it should&nbsp;  
When automation is supposed to be the future you expect it to be good&nbsp;  
But that’s a notion you feel you should have given up a long while ago&nbsp;  
At this point a malfunctioning door or two is just part of the everyday flow&nbsp;  
The elevators have an extension of this problem too  
Slowed by the wind or being worked on it’s what all inside are put through&nbsp;&nbsp;  
Leaving you waiting for a few minutes or sometimes considerably more&nbsp;  
Times the long wait makes you want to shove your fist through a door&nbsp;  
These annoyingly common building problems that adds to&nbsp;  
The amount of waiting around and time your work takes to do&nbsp;  
You’re not dealing with them alone but it sure can feel that way&nbsp;  
At the mercy of wires that can worry with slow pulls, troublesome sway  
And the times when they’re packed for most of the day&nbsp;  
This includes the doors too&nbsp;  
When they’re blocked by the person on the other side or in front of you&nbsp;  
And with how sensitive they are&nbsp;  
Sometimes they only shake when you push the button and don’t go ajar&nbsp;  
Not fully anyway&nbsp;  
And this wouldn’t be too big a problem if you didn’t deal with it everyday&nbsp;  
Of course people don’t help when they don’t read the signs&nbsp;  
Trying to grip the door that says not to pull so you provide guidelines&nbsp;  
And when you have to as often as you do your patience internally dwines&nbsp;  
After so long in a way it makes sense  
Why things like the doors and elevators don’t work and struggle  
But it just leaves you more things on the job to juggle&nbsp;  
Plus it’s not all people’s fault it’s also the electronics and weather as well&nbsp;  
You just wish things weren’t as dysfunctional for a longer spell
